mbk v IMPROVED FLY-TRAP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be. it known that I, MAX PATZAUER, of the city, county,` and State ofNew York, have invented a new and improved Fly-Trap; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same. l

This invention relates to devices for attracting and destroying flies,and consists in the combination of' parts brought together in thedevicehereinafter described.

A, in the drawing, represents the base; and

B, a perpendicular rod passing through the middle thereof.

C is a chamber formed around the rod for the reception of sirup or somesweet viscous substance mixed with any suitable poisonor'iusect-destroyer.

D is a pan also surrounding the rod, and arranged to receive anydrippings which may escape.

The chamber C is simply slided up the rod to impart thereto a slightcoating of the contents, when the iiies will be immediately draivn awayfrom food or the persons of those present. They will collect in greatswarms about the rod, where their lives will soon,be

destroyed.

The immense numbers of these. troublesome little insects that can bedestro `ed in this'manner, and the entire exemption obtained from theirannoyance, must Abescen to be appreciated.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a clear understanding ofmy invention,

What I desire to protect by Letters Patent is- 1. The base A, rod B, andchamber C, combined nndarranged as'and forythe purpose'speeiiied.v l 2.The base A, rod B, andcbamber'G, combined with they dripping-pan D,alias and for the purpose described.
